Synopsis
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a poet. That passion led me to the works of Tim Burton, whose unique storytelling has been a major inspiration in my creative journey. I always aspired to create both animation and film, and when the opportunity finally arose, I seized it. I took an old, whimsical poem I had written and began sketching the storyboard while assembling a team, including an animator. The style of the project draws inspiration from Tim Burton’s *Vincent* and the nostalgic charm of the classic children’s series *Courage the Cowardly Dog*.
